A guardian advocate is a person appointed by the court to make decisions regarding mental health treatment for a person who has been found incompetent to consent to treatment. A guardian advocate’s duties end when the person has regained the capacity to consent to treatment or when the person is discharged from a receiving or treatment facility to the community.
